While the parents of these kids are loons, I hope the state had a better reason to remove the kids from the home.

Avenue Rd, Church, Sherbourne, Eastern – and now Jarvis?  When will the anti-car zealots of the city core stop?

Moore Park resident Ellen Greenwood thinks removing the centre lane from Jarvis St. — and turning the heavily used north-south commuter route into a “cultural corridor” — makes absolutely no sense at all.

I like Fox News – and I am sorry it isn’t part of the basic cable package.  Apparently Lawrence Solomon likes it too.

I commend these all to you, but I especially commend the gold standard in television news and commentary, the one TV channel indispensable to obtaining an understanding of the events of the day: FOX News.

Hopefully the generator guy will call soon… I want to be prepared as his new book points out.
